Thread to discuss and compare 2023 Beauty Advent contents. Started because Liberty has already published their contents.

I'm not wowed by any yet. Really hope JL have a good one.

kerstina · 01/09/2023 13:49

Does anyone have a discount code for 20% off Looks Fantastic Please? Tempted to get their advent calendar.

BadgerFace · 01/09/2023 13:56

Do Elemis usually discount their advent calendar later in the year? I am very tempted but don’t want to go too early if it might reduce in price!

Ducksinthebath · 01/09/2023 14:14

Not an advent calendar per se but interesting to see the Latest In Beauty - Beauty Bible Awards box is reduced again. The contents were (in my view) a load of old rubbish so I’m not surprised. I wondered if that was down to such a saturated market between other boxes, calendars, etc.

BrokeAsABone · 01/09/2023 18:20

The Vogue one is tempting but after putting that Bridges creep in their list of powerful women it's a no-can-do!

Not wowed by any others apart from the Harrods Fragrance one I preordered.

With you on the Bridges thing…I thought it looked good too!

OK so I'll give it to Vogue they've done well ..BUT £350?! Too much for me. Especially as I wouldn't wear the hoops
I'd rather take my £350 (well £150!) and curate my own from various sales - think this is what I'll actually do now. Selfridges and CB a definite no for me.

It went down to £20 last Thursday.
I really liked the selection and bought 2 when it first launched with a reduced price via Beauty Bible (£24 I think? Free delivery). Bought a 3rd one at £20 last week too. Some products I was already using and I'll be using everything with great enjoyment so it's been a real saving (must be first time ever I don't feel I've been frivolous- makes a change!).

How odd why has my response been hidden?

I had a post hidden on another thread - there's a word that "triggers" the moderators to hide a post , it;s about the 'pointless' item .

( I think it's in case someone is selling or promoting them )

‘Powerhouse women’

Absolutely unbearable.

Georgieporgie29 · 02/09/2023 08:25

I’m looking for one for my 12 year old DD this year. She’s just getting into makeup so I thought one with different make up items to try would be ideal.

Preferably not too spendy - under the £50 mark if possible.

I’ve currently bookmarked the revolution one as I think that could be a contender, can anybody recommend any others that they think might be suitable please?

CorneliaStreet · 02/09/2023 09:54

@Georgieporgie29 There’s also a Profusion calendar, £30 at Boots.

Puravida23 · 02/09/2023 10:08

Good news for those of us hoping latest in beauty would do a collaboration with Sunday times again . Looks same as last year but red and 25 products mostly full size . Which I prefer to the multiple travel sizes
No clue what these products are yet but the brand names are there and there are some interesting ones including Tatcha, Miller Harris, And Votary as well as the old favourites. So fingers crossed it is good

I've ordered the Elemis I have a big birthday in December so this is one of my treats 😄 now looking for ddil I'm thinking cult beauty

Possimpible · 02/09/2023 10:31

LiB could be promising, will reserve judgement. Hopefully they don't wait till 1st October when it's released to reveal the contents. I really liked the sizes last year, so much better than loads of travel sizes.

HollyGolightly4 · 02/09/2023 10:35

How much is the latest in beauty one? I couldn't see a price!

Ohdear7 · 02/09/2023 10:48

Last year it was £199 I think but late October they offered £20 off and a free summer box, so I got it then. Although I think you were able to get it further reduced on TikTok shop in November. Not sure whether they’ll do that again, it’ll depend on how popular it is

Puravida23 · 02/09/2023 11:30

I got it for £99 on TikTok last year which was such a bargain. Not sure how this year is going to play out though as probably less supply for all the advent’s.

Oh brilliant, thank you, I’ll have a look

itsnothingoriginal · 02/09/2023 12:48

The M&S contents this year look much more useful/tempting to me. I've not got it fir a few years so I think will be buying it. Glossybox looks quite good too!

CinnamonCoffee · 02/09/2023 12:49

Well Lib has got two MLM products so that's me out

CinnamonCoffee · 02/09/2023 12:50

@70isaLimitNotaTarget ah right that makes sense now. Thank you for clarifying
